Epomaker Hack70

The Epomaker Hack70 keyboard uses a 65% ortholinear, 70 key layout, retaining dedicated arrow keys and essential navigation functions while saving a significant amount of desk space compared with a full-size board. It is a practical format that works equally well for gaming, work, and everyday typing.

Inside the Hack70 features a gasket mounted structure combined with multiple layers of sound dampening foam. This helps create a softer typing feel while reducing unwanted ping and hollow sounds. The keyboard also supports hot swapping, allowing users to change compatible 5 pin mechanical switches without soldering.

Connectivity is super versatile, you can connect via USB C, 2.4GHz wireless, or Bluetooth 5.0, with support for multiple paired devices. A large 3000mAh battery keeps the wireless modes running for extended periods between charges, depending on lighting usage.

The keyboard includes south facing RGB lighting, which tends to work better with a wider variety of keycap profiles while providing lighting customisation. Many versions are supplied with PBT keycaps, which are generally more resistant to wear and shine than cheaper ABS alternatives.

For gaming, the Hack70 offers full N key rollover and anti-ghosting support, ensuring every keypress is accurately registered during fast paced sessions. The PCB is designed to support extensive customisation, and compatibility with Windows and Mac systems adds flexibility for mixed device setups.

In use, the Hack70 delivers a refined and tactile typing experience with a pleasing sound and solid stabilisation. The compact layout may take a few days to adjust to if you are moving from a full-size keyboard, and software customisation is not as advanced as some enthusiast favourites.

Still, considering the build quality, wireless flexibility, hot swap support, gasket mounting, and feature set, the Hack70 offers impressive value for anyone looking to step up from a basic mechanical keyboard. RRP $89.99
